gallstones confirmed

   Bugger about the gallstones, but at least now you know what's going on! Did you get a prescription for some pain relief?

Well, at least something can be done to help you. I'm with you on the no more attacks till after bubs is born!

Oh poor you Kaz. At least you know what it is now and what to d about it. Good luck, hope you have no more attacks.

Its interesting, but my attacks never happen after i have eaten anything, or if they do its about 2hrs later, so we can not pinpoint what is causing it.

haven't had an attack for a few weeks so hopefully no more attacks.

Hi Katrina,

Had gall stones and gall bladder removed 2004. Raw apple can be a common one to set off an attack , that some people don't realise, even the slightest piece, also gassy foods ie cabbage etc... Bad, bad attacks. Had to wait a year on the waiting list because couldn't afford to go private at the time. Had to go on complete fat free diet, after being referred to a dietician in hospital, after another severe attack one night, while waiting on the waiting list.
I didn't have an attack straight after I ate either, it was mostly after I had gone to bed at night.
Couldn't even imagine what it must be like while pregnant! But after I had mine taken out (what a relief!!!) We decided we would have another baby, after having our youngest 13 years prior. After all child birth was nothing in comparision to gall bladder attacks.

Also bubs is in the same position,, was told by my midwife to sit forward when sitting down, with pelvis higher than knees, or sit with chair back to front, leaning on back rest.

Safe pregnancy and speedy recovery!

No experience with gallstones but Maya was posterior (spine to spine) which is very common for first babies. The swiss ball thing is a good idea, I used a beanbag, I would kneel leaning over it and watch TV. Like James says too, on all fours gives bubs maximum moving space.

Maya was still posterior when I went into labour but born anterior so she turned around at some stage.
